Jones, who was appointed State game and fish warden by Gov. Park Trammell on Aug, 6, is busily engaged in getting his private busi- ness in shape to turn his full atten- tion to his new duties which he will assume on Sept. 1. When seen yes- terday Mr. Jones said; “While the law States.that I shall not assume my duties until Sept. 1, immediately upon receiving my ap. pointment T began work, realizing the great task I had before me and the importance of an early organi- zation. “In the formation of my working forces I am taking the utmost care in making selections of the men who are to work under me. 'TIn doing this I have written to every county judge and sheriff in the State as well as to prominent citizens in ev- ery county asking them for recom- mendation. It is a source of much gratification to me that I have re- ceived letters from them commend- ing my course in this respect. These letters I mailed on Aug. 16 with the result that through their co.-opera- tion I have received 291 applications for appointment as wardens and there are others yet to be heard from. There are only fifty-two ap- polntments to be made so you can see what I am up against. “Pm ~ery much pleased at the class of men who are applying for the positions of warden. Among them are several bankers. ceiving letters from all over the State from State and county offi- clals and also from private citizens In which they express their confi- dence in me and the result of my work. They have also expressed their desire to co.operate with me in the work of enforcing the game and fish laws. In the task of appointing the fifty-two wardens T expect I shall possibly have 500 applications to | consider. Naturally in the selection of these wardens I must be very careful to choose such men who will not only be best suited for the posi- tion and who win be acceptable to the people of the district for which they are cppointed but above all they must be men who will see that the game ang fish laws are enforced. | —Times-Union. —————— News comes from Fort Myers that within a very few months Lee coun- ty is going to be able to boast of | eighteen miles of as fine hard road as can be found anywhere in the State.
